ClusterQuorum : not compatible with french OS

[OPT-ksarr]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

Preparing 2 target nodes for installation of SQL server with AlwaysOn HA

Code executed:

           xClusterQuorum TemoinCluster 
           { 
                IsSingleInstance = 'Yes'
                Type = 'NodeAndFileShareMajority' 
                Resource = "\\server\myshare" 
                PsDscRunAsCredential = $DomainAdminCredential                
           }

Verbose logs showing the problem

La ressource DSC PowerShell MSFT_xClusterQuorum n'a pas pu exécuter la fonctionnalité Test-TargetResource. Message
d'erreur: Unknown quorum resource: Témoin de partage de fichiers
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation : (:) [], CimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ProviderOperationExecutionFailure
+ PSComputerName : srv-sql1

Suggested solution to the issue

When I check the quorum resource type on target nodes, displayname show a value set in french language. But "Name" value is set in English

Solution:

1. Just replace $getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource.ResourceType.DisplayName by $getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource.ResourceType.Name in the powershel block above
2. Replace compared value by english value(Ex: 'File Share Quorum Witness' By 'File Share Witness')

I don't know if it is the solution for all OS language but I suppose its corrects numerous (German. SPain,Deutch,etc...)

This solution works in french OS (line with NodeAndFileShareMajority):

MSFT_xClusterQuorum.psm1:

        'Majority'
        {
            if ($null -eq $getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource)
            {
                $clusterQuorumType = 'NodeMajority'
            }
            elseif ($getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource.ResourceType.Name -eq 'Physical Disk')
            {
                $clusterQuorumType = 'NodeAndDiskMajority'
            }
            elseif ($getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource.ResourceType.Name -eq 'File Share Witness')
            {
                $clusterQuorumType = 'NodeAndFileShareMajority'
            }
            elseif ($getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource.ResourceType.Name -eq 'Cloud Witness')
            {
                $clusterQuorumType = 'NodeAndCloudMajority'
            }
            else
            {
                throw "Unknown quorum resource: $($getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource)"
            }
        }

The DSC configuration that is used to reproduce the issue (as detailed as possible)

Use default resource:

        'Majority'
        {
            if ($null -eq $getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource)
            {
                $clusterQuorumType = 'NodeMajority'
            }
            elseif ($getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource.ResourceType.DisplayName -eq 'Physical Disk')
            {
                $clusterQuorumType = 'NodeAndDiskMajority'
            }
            elseif ($getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource.ResourceType.DisplayName -eq 'File Share Quorum Witness')
            {
                $clusterQuorumType = 'NodeAndFileShareMajority'
            }
            elseif ($getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource.ResourceType.DisplayName -eq 'Cloud Witness')
            {
                $clusterQuorumType = 'NodeAndCloudMajority'
            }
            else
            {
                throw "Unknown quorum resource: $($getClusterQuorumResult.QuorumResource)"
            }
        }
